 * Hi
    1. Is there a way to set the default chat to full screen so I don’t have to click
       this icon every time?

 * 2. In folder addons, there is file emojis.php that reads emojis from these URLs.
   Please add a section in the plugin settings that, if we enable it, reads these
   emojis from our host.

 * Hi again Ehsan,
 * Thanks for the suggestions — good news on both:
    1. Full-screen by default. Instead of using the floating popup and clicking the
       expand icon each time, you can place a permanent full-screen messenger on its
       own page:
 * Create a new page (e.g. “Messages”).
   Add the “User Inbox” block and enable its
   Full Screen option in the block settings (or just use the shortcode [better_messages
   full_screen=”1″]).Add that page to your menu.This renders the messenger full-
   screen with no expand button needed.
    2. Self-hosting emojis. This is already built in — you don’t need to edit emojis.
       php. Go to Better Messages → Settings → Privacy → Emoji Delivery and switch 
       it to Self-hosted. The plugin downloads the emoji images to your own server (
       wp-content/uploads/better-messages/emoji/) and serves them locally instead of
       from the CDN. (If you don’t see this option, update to the latest version.)
 * Let me know if anything’s unclear!
   Thanks!
